Only 10 minutes outside with the binoculars gave me a nice reminder of why I love this hobby.
Even with bad skies and light pollution.
The Moon will forever be one of my favourites.

SGL, it's been a while!

Clearest nights when you are at work, cloudiest skies when you're enjoying time away from work. Need I say more?

I'm sure I've got one or two of your ex eyepieces. I've also got a few of your scopes too .

Exactly what I was thinking . Is John getting some to review? -
Bigger than I thought!

The 150P dob is the same size (tall) as the 200P, which is the same size as the 250PX, the only difference is how fat the tubes are. How funny that the background music of the video was the same as what I was just listening to (Keep Talking by Pink Floyd) . -
Most of my astro equipment has been stored elsewhere for the past few months whilst building work has been going on and stargazing has been patchy at best (due to work/bad weather combination). I'm sure that will change when everything is moved back . It's not a course of treatment I'd recommend for anyone.

I'm cured of my eyepiece buying impulses. At least for now .

Agreed. When it's clear you need to employ the 'drop everything' (apart from your scope!) tactic to get a decent chance of viewing. It can be several weeks between sessions, so you have to make the most of them while you can.

Almost exactly how it was discovered too. Well, flicking between, I believe, photographic plates, but it's the same thing

Lovely object and surrounding area. It definitely needs more exposure time though - lots of contrast between the dark nebula behind! Don't want to have to push the data too hard . You've definitely found a hidden gem .

Now that's great customer service Steve, as usual .

Famous last words... .

Clear Outside Weather Forecasts for Astronomers
Naemeth replied to FLO's topic in Sponsor Announcements and Offers
Used the forecast yesterday for deciding whether or not to wear a waterproof coat - got both there and back without getting wet - as forecast . Serves as a good day time forecast as well as a night one .
